Dick Kennedy 317aeb83c9 scsi: lpfc: Add blk_io_poll support for latency improvment
Although the existing implementation is very good at high I/O load, on
tests involving light load, especially on only a few hardware queues,
latency was a little higher than it can be due to using workqueue
scheduling. Other tasks in the system can delay handling.

Change the lower level to use irq_poll by default which uses a softirq for
I/O completion. This gives better latency as variance in when the cq is
processed is reduced over the workqueue interface. However, as high load is
better served by not being in softirq when the CPU is loaded, work queues
are still used under high I/O load.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
